THE UTE OUTBREAK.
General Crook Lays the Whole Bla me
On the Whites.

Ii is very lengthy aud substantially shows
that the trouble was precipitated altogether
by the whites. The Indians were not
guilty OF horse stealing and had
settled their dispute with the horse
traders. Nevertheless warrants were
issued and attempts made to serve them
without explanation. They were fired on
without cause and Afterwards, when they
agreed to 20 to the reservation. the sheriff
did not keep the agreement, but proceeded
after them with the militia and deputies.
Another conflict was precipitated, in
which two whites were killed and
several wounded. One Indian was
killed and live fatally wounded. All that
prevented a serious outbreak was the arrival
of Lieutenant Burnett, OF the army, who sue
ceeded in inducing the Indians to go to their
reservation, leaving behind all their prop
erty. From the outset, with but one slight
interruption, the Indians were pursued in
cessantIy and at first Colorow had no desire
to fight, and made use OF his weapons in self
defense only.
Longs To BE a Congressman Again.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. There are two men
holding prominent official positions here
who nre desirious of changing their
surroundn s. These are Interstate Com
missioner Morrison and Civil Service Com
missioner Oberly. Mr.. Morrison is thor
oughly tired of Office life. lie is anxious to
again enter politics and to serve his district
rs its representative in congress If he cannot
secure the higher honor of election to the
United States senate. Mr.. MorrlsOn's
friends here asaert positively that 1t is the
purpose of that gentleman to resi- m and to
stand rs candidate for congress next year.
Upon Mr.. Morrlson's retirem ent, Mr.. Oberly
will attempt to bring influences
to bear upon the president
to give him the place. Mr.. Obery is dissats-
fed with his place on the civil service com
difficulty in getting along with his colleague,
Mr.. Edgerton. The Indiana member of the
board Is antayonisticto to the gentleman almost
every time the commission is Sc called upon to
MIR. Obery manage to pull IN double harness
together very comfortably, bat Mr.. Oberly
makes no secret of his inability to find points
upon which he can agree with Mr.. Edgerton.
This is one of the reasons upon which he
desires promotion to the position occupied by
MIR. Morrison. But the principal reason is
the fact that while his salary at present is
only $500 year, the salary OF the Interstate
commerce commission is $500 Mr.. Oberly
has very large family and is obliged to live
among expensive surroundings, and for these
reasons finds difficulty in bringing up his
children upon the income which he receives
from the government 1t is said that his
letter to the Illinois democratic club last
evening was brought about through his de-
sire to stand we'll with the civil service
retormers and in the hope OF getting more
favor with the president. Whether this Is
true or not 1t is certain that he Will do all IN
his power to secure the coveted position of
Interstate commerce comm SSiOner in the
event of the resignation OF MIR. Morrison
next year.
